I live in Hawaii where there is VOG present, ie the sulphur residue from Volcanic fumes. The product name suggests this is a filter for vog. True??

Extremely doubtful. It does filter large particulates from the air but does not really have any filter apparatus and the mask is literally just the material the product is made from. That being said it's great for dust and compact for transportation I would definitely NOT trust it as a sulfur mask and would intact VOG mask customer service before you make any plans to do so. Maybe ok as a last resort?

Absolutely not Mr. Grossman. I have detected zero perfumes, odors or smells from this filter. Perfumes cause my wife to have migraines, so this fact was critical in my decision to purchase this filter.

My Vogmask filters really well. You can feel the resistance breathing in and out but unless I am doing a very strenuous activity, it is breathable. I think if you are planning to pull weeds in the garden or sit on an airplane, it's fine. For bike riding or running, it would help to have a valve. Mike H.

I only used it for biking around my city. I wouldn't run with it. I get called a terrorist from passerbyers. I use another mask from respro. This one is made in Poland if I recall. I could still smell some odors, which you shouldn't, if it is working properly. Vogmask is another good alternative. They both are good at blocking odors. But you need to change the inner filters and wash them. i soak it in boiling water after 5-10 uses. Hope this helps.

To keep dust and mold out of my system I used the pink circle filters (3M Tekk P100 Particulate Filter with Nuisance Level Organic Vapor Release) and it worked wonderfully--much better fitting and much better working than those disposable masks. If you have allergies or asthma or got really irritated lungs/nose/throat the last time, I would recommend this for the next time.Others have mentioned more detailed specs on the 3M website. (Your second question, I don't have a response for.)

This is a filter for the Venta Ultrasonic Humidifier. That's what I am using it in. Believe they are using the term "airwasher" in how the filter helps remove particles, dust, and others from the air.

These are meant to filter extremely small solid particles. Key word: "solid". Pollens, pet dander, micro-dust, etc.. For most hazardous fine vapors (i.e. gases) and potentially-hazardous liquid materials that are sometimes used/applied as "mists" (lacquer paints and insecticides are two of many examples), you would want to use filters made of a different (finer, tighter?) mesh material.

NO! It's a particle filter for dust, not a Chemical, Biological filter. You need to find a mask that carries that Biological/Chemical Certification.

Hi Prsmith, Thank your for your comments. Yes we are aware that this straw while highly effective for the common bacteria and heavy does not filter for viruses. That is why we developed 3 other straws that use MIR Hi-Poly Iodine Resin to effectively filter 99.999% of common viruses. While the other filter medium contained in the straw filters out 99.999% of bacteria and heavy metals. Please check out our 3 other water filter straws here on Amazon: H2OLIFEGUARD,H2O SURVIVAL Water Filter Travel Straw & H2O SURVIVAL Water Filter Travel Straw MAX. It should be noted though that pregnant woman and those allergic to Iodine should not use this straw.

It is supposed to filter Cryptosporidium. I can only say I have not had a problem. But, I do not know if the water contained this or not. I do not know where you are going to be. Higher elevation run off water seems to have less to worry about. To be safe or if you are going to be in an area that has very poor water quality, I would use the filter and a chemical treatment together. There are some very inexpensive treatment tablets that are light and will ensure that you have everything from parasites AND bacteria covered.

No. This only kills the things listed in there information sheet. Activated charcoal filters should eliminate the sulfur smell. You should be running at least 2 filters before the Sterilight. Filtering eliminates the particles that other wise could shield the bad stuff from a good dose of the UV rays. I run one filter with a 5 micron string cartridge and then a 1-5 micron charcoal filter at home and do the same when I install a new system.

Don't really know other than some sources say that is what it is for. I use it on my filters and am still breathing.

There should be an asociated, "people who bought the Broan.. also bought this" on amazon. I did and found a company that sells the appropriate filter.

Filters can go on the Barlow or eyepiece. Stacking them maybe useful or not. It won't hurt to try. The moon filter is really the only one I've used regularly.

Well this kind of respirator is meant to be used when working with chemical fumes, but I'd say even with the prefilter pads you are good to go. Maybe add the Organic Vapor filter to add something on top of that. Hope that helps.

This is a sediment filter and contains nothing that would absorb any gas regardless of what it is. Sediment filters are suited for removal of chunks of inorganic stuff like rocks and rust scale. They are not great at removing organic slime after a few gallons.

The case my 6 filters came in is labeled "High Performance". I used to buy my filters individually from the heating contractor that installed my Geothermal system. But his price per filter started at about $50 each. When he next wanted $60 per filter I started to look elsewhere. This contractor does annual "tune ups"of my system and says that I am buying the same filter that they were selling me previously.
